The situation is not good but not quite as dire as you claim. Roughly half of Americans get healthcare from their employer. And while “good insurance” is subjective, it looks like 75% of those people have deductibles under $2000. So not great, but not quite as horrible as “vast majority” imo.

- jfkebwjsbx 7y agoLet's sink that in: 2/3 of the population from your own numbers do not have insurance or an insurance they can pay the deductible for. Alright, it is not a vast majority numerically. It is still a catastrophe waiting to happen in comparison with other countries.
- senordevnyc 7y agoNot sure how you came up with 2/3rds. A significant portion of the half of Americans who don’t get healthcare from their employer get it from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government programs.
